Information
The Parador Santillana Gil Blas is in the historic town centre, making it easy to get around on foot.
That’s how to see the Casa del Águila and the Casa de la Plaza, as well as the old Town Hall building.
Just 2 kilometres from the village is the zoo, and just over 15 kilometres away is beautiful village of Comillas, which is protected by the Cantabrian Sea.
If Santillana del Mar is famous for anything, it’s for the prehistoric paintings in the Altamira Caves.
Considered the ”Sistine Chapel” of cave art, visits are currently restricted to prevent them from deteriorating.
An exact replica of the paintings can be seen at the Altamira National Museum and Research Centre at Santillana del Mar.
Environment
At the Barreda-Bracho mansion, which is now the Parador de Santillana Gil Blas, you can begin a walking tour of the historic quarter and discover its unique buildings, such as the Casa del Águila and the Casa de la Plaza, or the old town hall building.
Just 2 kilometres from the village is the zoo, and just over 15 kilometres away is beautiful village of Comillas, which is protected by the Cantabrian Sea. Nature has also been kind to Santillana del Mar, and near its historic centre are the Santa Justa and Ubiarco beaches. Other nearby destinations, which also have beaches, include Cobreces, Suances and San Vicente de la Barquera.
